On Sunday, Senator Chuck Schumer called on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to investigate Prime, citing the high levels of caffeine in the beverage and the potential health risks it poses to young consumers.

Critics argue that the popularity of Prime and other energy drinks among children and young adults is a result of aggressive marketing tactics and the influence of social media influencers.
